Because that's a generally acceptable way to deal with scaling issues

Is a newsletter informing people that want to buy a house about real estate
commercial email? Why should the estate agent pay each and every
provider for being allowed to have the email delivered to the customers
of the ISP? The /customers/ of the ISP signed up to receive the
newsletter to be informed.
Oh ... and as the estate agent ... how much transferals to how many ISPs
do I have to make per newsletter to get it delivered?
